LUMINARY AWARD

South Africa, having achieved a democracy in 1994, is a country rich in potential with an unlimited future. The FMF wishes to identify those unique individuals who inspire others in a particular sphere of life. These individuals are elected as FMF Luminaries to memorialise their achievements as an example to all. Luminary Awards have been presented to Dr Yuri Maltsev, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, Dr Pauline Dixon and Dr Sam Motsuenyane.

The central message from the Luminaries is that peaceful co-operation under the rule of law is the best way to achieve peace and prosperity for all.

Luminary award recipients are:

Ninth FMF Luminary - Dr Reuel Khoza

For
being a business leader with the courage to speak truth to power by taking a
consistent and principled stand against poor policy, corruption and
incompetence in government, and for championing the cause of good governance

Seventh FMF Luminary - Raymond Ackerman

Sixth FMF Luminary - Dr Richard Maponya

For his outstanding
entrepreneurial achievement and leadership as a self-made businessman under the
almost impossible conditions of apartheid and being a beacon of hope for
aspiring young South African entrepreneurs.
